Can you call 911 for domestic abuse?
Yes, you absolutely can and you absolutely should. It might be just the shock that the abuser needs. A large number of domestic absusers don't really understand that what they're doing is wrong. It wasn't uncommon a few decades ago for spouses (usually the men) to administer ‘home correction’ to their spouses by slapping, shoving, destroying marital property, and other forms of domestic violence. This was, in fact, considered admirable— the absuser was ‘just keeping the little woman in line’ as it was often expressed. People who grew up with that happening in their parents’ homes may subconsciously expect to see it continue in their own lives. Just telling them that times have changed and it's no longer acceptable may not be enough.If the incident has already happened—say that the abuser hit you yesterday and then the situation cooled—you can still go to the police station and file a ‘Crimes Against Persons’ complaint. It would be a good idea to contact your local Domestic Violence Center for advice at this point. There's no charge, you don't have to give your name if you don't want to, and they won't tell you that you must leave your abuser or don't bother to contact them again, as some police departments are known to do.http://Whengeorgiasmiled.com has a wealth of information about domestic violence and how to deal with it.
Do I call 911 if I find a hornet's nest?
Are the bees on fire? Is their honey a hazardous material? Were they involved in a motor vehicle accident and need extrication?Are they having a heart attack or difficulty breathing? Have the bees fallen and can't get up? Are they bleeding profusely or is their blood sugar critically low?Did they rob a bank, assault someone, or are they speeding and flying erratically? Are they selling drugs or breaking into cars?If you can't answer yes to one or more of these questions, then no, you shouldn't call 9–1–1. Fire, EMS and Police handle the above kinds of calls, they do not handle hornet's nests. They are neither trained nor equipped to eliminate a hornet's nest.For that you need a pest control company. They have the appropriate protective clothing and equipment to quickly and safely eliminate a hornet's nest. Look for them on YP.com | The Real Yellow Pages or something like Angie's List.On the other hand, if you are allergic to bee stings and have just received multiple stings and are having trouble breathing, call 9–1–1 and we'll come and give you an Epi Pen and a ride to the hospital.

How do I call 911 in another state, ASAP, cause of my 13 yrs old who is cutting himself in Ohio where he lives
Almost everyone that answered this question is wrong. Dial 911. They will transfer you to the correct agency since they have access to every telephone number to every police agency in the US. For those of you who said dial 411 or 0, you need to stop answering questions.
Do you call 911 for pet emergencies?
No, 911 is for Fire, Police, and (Human) Emergency Medical Services. There are no Emergency Vet Techs available via 911. For a list of numbers for emergency "hotlines" regarding animals, see: http://www.vetlocator.com/hotline.php Also, you can look in your local yellow pages for animal hospitals and some will have 24/7 "ER" service.

Who to call for after hours noise complaint?
I understand....but they do say yes, call 911...the 911 operators determine the level of any given emergency. I had similar minor complaint with a neighbor once, and I went to the sherrif's office and this is what they told me. I struggled with dialing the 911 number... since in my mind it really wasn't that big a deal..but it was something that needed to be handled...
What happens if you call 911 for a non-emergency?
That depends on why you called in the first place.If it is a call for service in which you are not a crime victim, you might be transferred to the “nuisance line” which is a recording telling you that 911 is for emergencies only etc, and here is the business line number to call if you need service.If it isn’t an emergency, but you were a crime victim, I personally would still take the call over “911”. For example, your car was stolen sometime overnight. That’s not an emergency, it’s a routine report call. However, you’ve been the victim of a crime, and I don’t want to tell you to hang up and call the business line(or transfer to the nuisance line). I may likely tell you at the end of the call that if you need to call back, please use our business line (otherwise they call back in 5 minutes to ask what our ETA is on 911).I would only get annoyed if you called to ask seconds after an area power outage when your power would be restored and the like. I’m not the power company, and one of these many 911 calls coming in might actually be someone telling me about the car accident that took out a power pole, causing a grass fire that I actually need to hear about…It’s illegal to call 911 for non emergencies but unless you personally make a habit of it, it’s one of those many laws that is rarely enforced.
Is there an online equivalent to calling 911?
Online contact to 9–1–1 technically would be similar to text to 9–1–1. Because its so similar I have included part of my response to the text to 9–1–1 question. Why can't we text 911?A few thoughts from a seasoned technical guy at a fairly large 911 center... (nearly a million phone subscribers and more than 1 million calls a year) In Spring of 2015 we turned on text to 911. We have received very few legitimate text to 911 calls mostly just accidental dials or people wondering if it works.Why would you want to text to 911?There are very few legitimate reasons you might want to text 911. We always talk about the person alone in the home with a burglar. This is extremely rare. In this situation 911 call taker would rather you call and not speak and just leave the line open and here is why....Issues with text to 9111. Priority routed- a call landline or wireless is priority routed through the phone networks. A text message is not. Thus there may be a delay in the system due to your roommates texting duck face pics to their girlfriend. Text responses from 911 may be delayed or out of order. Try CPR using text to 911.An online application wouldn’t be priority routed like the phone system is. 9–1–1 call got directly to the top and have direct routes to 9–1–1. Not saying it can’t be done but it would be a massive project. 9–1–1 has been doing it for more than 40+ years.2. No Geo spatial data is sent via text. The 911 call taker has no idea where you are. A phone call landline or mobile has at least some geo data associated with it so that we have an idea of where you are. Accuracy varies between landline and mobile carries as well as environmental factors.I cannot stress this enough. Location is everything and really the only thing 9–1–1 needs from its users. If 9–1–1 doesn’t know where you are we can’t help you.3. Data... A 9–1–1 call taker gets a sense of urgency from your voice as well as environmental noise. A seasoned call taker can tell if this is a critical emergency or is about to become one just by the sounds they hear on the phone. This will speed up service. A text doesn't have this.Most of the agencies I deal with have a form of an online reporting tool for non emergencies. IE: a stolen bike.
